how to find facebook memories

You can easily see Facebook Memories using the site's Memories function, which allows you to see what you did on this day years ago, for as many years as you've had your account.
If you don't get a notification about your memories every day, you can still see your Facebook Memories by going through your account menu.

One of the great things about Facebook is that it can almost serve as a modern digital diary. You can look back on your life and how you changed over the years — what you did, how you changed, what you and your friends laughed about, and more.

In fact, one of Facebook's best features is the Memories feature, which allows you to see what you did on this day any number of years ago, as far back as you've had your account. Your memories refresh every day, and Facebook usually sends you a notification when they are.

If you don't get the notification, though, your memories are still very easy to access — here's how to do it.
